Sometimes, the first few pancakes are a colossal failure. They may be uneven, a little undercooked, or even stick to the pan.
But as you dial in the heat and find the right flip-point, those golden cakes become magical.
But, like making pancakes, leadership starts messy. You don’t abandon breakfast over a few failed attempts—you just keep flipping.
Each ‘pancake’ you make as a leader is a valuable teacher—about yourself, your team, and what it takes to create something great.
So, don’t be afraid of a little mess in your leadership journey. It’s all part of your story.
Before you know it, you’ll be serving up stacks of success, and those early misfires will be a fun story to share over breakfast.
